Ricky Wilson has only been away from The Voice UK's coaching panel for a year, but he's already missing his big red spinning chair.

The Kaiser Chiefs' frontman was replaced by Gavin Rossdale for the show's move to ITV this year as he wanted to concentrate on his music career after three years on the show.

He told Bang Showbiz: "I'd love to go back to The Voice. It's loads of fun. I'd go back tomorrow if they asked me.

"I'm glad I took some time off – like anything, if you get used to it you get jaded by it, so I'm glad to step away from it, but there's situations where you step away from it and then you're not invited back.

"But one day I'd like to be go back, either that or something else. If you asked my partner she'd say I hated it. I probably hate doing it but I love having done it."

However, he's backing his replacement to stick it out for another year at least after rumours that he's packing it in too.

"If they offer it to him I'd say stick in there Gavin, because the first year is always the hardest. It was for me because to be honest it's like people have got very short memories, and everyone was like, 'Ricky who?'
